MADISON. Wis. Oct. 7.-On the arri-
val Of the presidential train here this
afternoon the party was accorded an en-
thusiastic reception and escorted to the
capitol grounds, where the welcoming
address was made by Jddge Cole, CHIEF
Justice of Wisconsin. In reply President
Cleveland said:
After a week spent in travel and in
visiting the people OF the great West, we
have come to rest a while at the capital
of Wisconsin, known as the most beauti.
full in location and scenery of all the cities
of this region. Though we see the good
people of Madison at their home for
the first time, they are not unknown to
us. We know you at the seat of the ma,
tional government through your fellow
townsman, who has done honor to his
home and to his neighbors by a most
successful and conscientious performance
of an important public duty, and who
has earned, as he has received, the re-
spect and esteem of every citizen who de-
slres the welfare of his country. So our
desire to actually see you and to know
you better is perfectly natural.
1T seemed to me when | planned nv
trip that Madison would be the proper
place at which to make our first stop for
rest. When | conceived the idea of stay
ing at Madison over Sunday and testing
the kindness of her citizens and the hos
pltallty of the postmaster general, all
had to do was to imagine that we would
be very much fatigued when we reached
here and in need of the rest | was de-
termined we should have. Thus we arc
here and tired enough to Justify my
plans"
After speaking further in praise of the
beauties of the city, its surroundings,
university, etc, the president concluded:
Il expect to heartily enjoy my stay here
and to always hereafter cherish pleasing
recollections of your city and its inhabi.
tants."
Upon conclusion of the speech making
the party entered the capitol building, the
doors of which were closed for a few min,
utes while the reception committee and
the ladies were presented to the president
and Mrs. Cleveland After this the doors
were opened and for about two hours the
people poured in and passed by the presi,
dent. The town hall, though not very
large itself, was crowded to Overlooking
with people from all about the surround.
ing country. When the reception ended
Mrs. Cleveland went at once to the resi-
dence of Postmaster General Villas, where
she spent the rest of the afternoon in
quiet. The president accompanied by
Governor Rush and Col. Villas went tC
Dane county fair grounds where again
the people had an opportunity to see him,
This evening Mr.. and Mrs. Villas gave
a dinner to the president. it being a quiet
affair of twelve or fifteen covers. Among
the guests were Governor and Mrs. Rusk.
Chief Justice Cole, and Mayor Conklir
and wife. The town is gorgeously dec,
GRATED in all conceivable styles, the adorn
ment of the grounds and mansion of Col
Villas being superb.

The Alleged Ey1ctions.

WASHINGTON, Oct. The general
land office is without definite information
regarding the evictions in Iowa by alien
land holders. A letter from DIR. H. NJ.
Hamblen, physician at the Winnebago
agency, Nebraska, is the chief source of
information. 1t seems that certain per-
sons hoped to prove hat the McGregor
road had no right to certain lands which
had been patented to it as a grant, be
cause it had deviated from the general
route laid out by it at first, and settlers
have squatted on the lands with the inten-
ton of securing title if possible.
The road had sold the land to certain
foreign corporations, the agent of which
has been trying for some time to gain pos
session. A few of the settlers refused to
leave, and judicial process was used to
evict them. AT last, of course, they had
to leave their improvements on the land,
and here was where the brutality came in.
DR.. Hamblen is an interested party, hav-
ing bought a tract of this land from some
one, and is now trying to get the land
office to help him get this land. For this
reason his letter on the sorrows of the
settlers was rather eloquently written, and
it formed the basis of the report which
was sent out.

The Minority Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. John A. Nc
Clernand and A. B. Carlton, of the Utah
commission, have submitted to the secre-
tary of the interior a minority report dis
senting from some of the views of the
majority of the commission, as expressed
IN Its annual report recently submitted.
The minority say: While ~coneurring in
part IN the majority report of our associ-
ates, we dissent from it particularly as re.
CARDS the general animas and propriety
Of introducing theological discussion into
a secular document
After a review of the effects of the
new registration law upon the election of
a delegate to the fftieth congress, the
dissenting commissioners say that early
in the present year they thought they
discovered a disposition among the mem
bers to give up the practice of polygamy.
and add that they have used their official
and personal influence to induce the Nor.
mons to take such steps.
kaIhe commissioners wish to disclaim any
interference in the question of the state
hood of Utah, but consider that whether
the territory be admitted or not a strong
advanced position is gained when the
mass of the people are induced to place
themselves on record in opposition to
polygamy. The report says: Now,
while the great mass of the Mormon peo-
pie are making an effort for the abandon
ment of the practice of polygamy, we are
asked to recommend further legislation of
the hostile and aggressive character al
most, if not entirely, destructive of local
self government, thereby inficting pun
ishment upon the innocent as well as the
guilty. This we decline to do" :
The commissioners instead recommend
the adoption of an amendment to the
constitution of the United States prohib-
iting the institution or practice of polyg-
amy in any form in any of the states or
territories.

Denis KearneY's Mission.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Denis Kearney, the
agitator, arrived in Chicago from the
Pacific coast this morning and left for
New York in the afternoon to take part
in the three cornered political struggle
waging between the Democrats, Republi-
cans and the followers of Henry George.
MIR. Kearney, on reaching Chicago, made
an Immediate effort to see the condemned
anarchists, particularly Parsons. The
Pacific coast a~gitator was quietly but
firmly denied admission TO the jail by the
officers in charge. He went away lament
ing and to tell how. four years ago, he
had advised Parsons to leave bombs alone
and take to the ballots or he would surely
get his neck in a halter, but Parsons only
laughed.
kearney says that in New York he will
make a series of speeches, taking the
ground that the question of questions for
the woTkingmen at this time is not the
far off issue of land taxation, but shall
laboring people concentrate every effort
upon passing a law through the very next
session OF congress, making the exclusion
of Chinese from this country absolute.
He will urge hat the hands of the Demo
Gratis be strengthened, their representa-
tives at present being, in his opinion, the
strongest anti Chinese advocates. 1t will
be an Unreasonable greater victory. he
thinks, for the w%orkingmen of New York
now to help pass the Mitchell anti Chi
nese bill when congress reassembles than,
for the sake of a side issue, to weaken
the Democracy and indirectly strengthen
the pro Chinese Republicans. After
leaving New York Kearney proposes to
renew his anti Chinese agitation in the
principal cities of Canada.

TAMPA, Oct, 7.-Physicians here this
morning discovered the existence of yellow
fever. There are two cases, both of a
mild type. One death has occurred.
The people are panicstriken, and the city
is being deserted. The fever will not
likely become epidemic for several days, if
at all. There is little cause for general
alarm, as the weather Is most favorable
to health aud an early frost is anticipated.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. IA special
from Key West, Fla, says: Passengers
by the steamers from Tampa tonight
confirm the reports of the appearance and
spread of yellow fever at that place. De.
tails show the situation to be very grave.
Up to last night Thirty cases and four
deaths were reported.

Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland Guests

Over Sunday.
Leaving Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE. Oct. THE day opened
bright and beautiful after a regular down
pour OF rain during the night, and every
thing tended to make the few remaining
hours Of the presidents stay in Milwau-
kce of a more pleasant nature. About
$3.50 carriages containing the presidential
party and the reception committee left
Plankinton house and proceeded to the
Soldiers home by the way of Grand ave-
nue. and Blue Mound road. The sides
OF the avenue were lined with people who
DOTTED their hats and waved their hand
kerchiets, while an occasional cheer broke
forth, as some enthusiastic individual
caught sight of his political chief and
impaired his enthusiasm to those around.
When the cavalcade arrived at the
Soldiers home the MANNED veterans were
drawn in line and saluted the president
and his wife as they drove down the line.
The cannon on the greensward in front of
the home meanwhile doomed forth a
presidential salute. The time left before
departure of the train was so brief that
no stop was made and the carriages drove
very rapidly through the south side of
city to the depot.
A large crowd had congregated about
the decorated pavilion on the platform
fully an hour before the distinguished party
arrived, and when the presidents carriage
came into view it was greeted with a
round of cheers which continued until
the train left the depot. The appearance
of Mrs. Cleveland on the platform was
the signal for a special outburst of enthu-
siasm from the ladies, who waved their
handkerchiefs and parasols in accompani
ment to the cheering. Mrs. Cleveland
still looks bright and fresh, notwithstand-
ing the continual round of receptions and
levees she has undergone. and smiled
sweetly as she accompanied her husband
to the car. Postmaster General Villas
was also the recipient of a burst of APP
plause as he stepped out of the carriage
and vanished into the presidential car,
which Immediately pulled out. leaving a
yelling crowd behind.
